This article is divided into three parts. The first presents the syntactic and semantic description of the particles lākin(na) and bal in Classical Arabic made by the grammarian Raḍī l-dīn al-Astarābāḏī (d. after 688/1289) in the Šarḥ al-Kāfiya. The second compares this description with that made by the French linguist Oswald Ducrot (1930–2024) and his followers of the two mais of French that they call PA and SN, by reference, the first, to Spanish pero and German aber and, the second, to Spanish sino and German aber. The third part shows that negation and its status are central to the problematic of lākin(na) and bal, as they are to that of the French mais.
